Senator VOORHEES, is reported to be very much
excited over the result of the election in New
York. The same thing happened to him, it will
be remembered at the beginning of the war,
when he proposed to put himself at the head of
an army for the purpose of resisting the march
of Union soldiers to the South; but he soon found
good cause for cooling off, and the Union flag
moved right along to victory.

IN Secretary Lamar's speech at the New York
Chamber of Commerce dinner he closed with
allusion to the commerce of the country, saying
IAN English poet once said
Commerce is the golden girdle of the globe
A little while after Mr.. Lamars speech, Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, the chief English fishery
commissioner, made speech, which he con-
concluded thus:
''Mr. Secretary Lamar in his concluding obser-
vations, quoted line from an English poet. If
he will permit to complete the quotation,
think it is particularly opposite to the view
which am endeavoring to impress upon YOU
1t is Cowper who says, indeed:
1.-THE bond of commerce is designed
To associate all the branches of mankind;
And if boundless plenty be the robe,
Trade is the golden girde of the globe"
If Mr.. Lamar is our best scholar in politics"
Mr.. Chamberlain showed his culture, so far as
reading is concerned, to much better advantage,

THE CHARL EsTOY RAILROAD.


A very interesting row is in process Of
brewing between the minority stockhold-
ers OF the Memphis & Charleston Railroad
and the majority. in the person, as wei may
say, of the East Tennessee Virginia &
Georgia Railroad. Elsewhere We give
the particulars, 40 far as they
have been made public. II sa very un-
fortunate affair, but it is only one Of a
series that have proven especially SO for
the business interests Of Memphis II is
saddcning to know that the Charleston
railroad which, under Col. Sam Tatc's
management when Memphis did not have
more than onc-third OF its pres
cnt population, paid dividends and fully
met the demands OF the public
should now be reduced TO the tail end Of
system that finds its largest interests in
another and competing direction. When
first projected the Charleston was TO be
the railroad by which Memphis was to be
identified in the railroad world, and for
yeas 1t proved equal TO the hopes
of the people and promises Of its
projectors, but for some time past il has
been the sport Of spectators and is still n
bone OF contention between the stockhold-
crs. This ought not TO be the case, and
